Sorry, a little to quick on the trigger :-)
I was trying to relate some of these freedoms to the freedoms described by Pirsig (Lila, p 360) that the puritans oposed to: drinking, dancing, sex, playing the fiddle, gambeling, idleness. Pirsig describes these as biological pleasures. Are the Personal Self-Government issues in this test only biological?
The Economic Self-Government items are for me a little more difficult. What kind of value has money / economics? I think I would say that money has a social value, and should be regarded as a method for the society to function and has noting to do with a intelectual level of quality. When Libertarians are calling for such freedom in economics, this may give some dynamics to the social level, but not to an intelectual level.
I guess I might be on thin ice here, but I trust you all to tell me where I am wrong.
